Read a server not found message
Tell in one press whether the trouble is the address or your connection.
Server not found means your device asked for that site and got nothing back at all.
Almost always it is a misspelled address, or your own connection. The site is rarely the cause.
Key points
- Server not found means nothing answered at all
- A misspelled address or a dropped connection explains nearly every one
What to remember
- Read the address before you blame anything.
- One site failing is the site. Every site failing is your connection.
Try this
Next time you see it, open any other website. If that one loads, the address was the problem.
